The Success Sequence or the Setup? Why We Must Be Awake to Senate Bill 156 Peace Fam, There’s a quiet storm brewing in Ohio—and it's dressed in the language of “success,” but don't be fooled. Senate Bill 156 , fresh out the 136th General Assembly, is coming for our youth’s minds under the slick branding of the “Success Sequence.” But once you strip away the polished words, it starts to look a whole lot like a setup. Let’s break it down. What’s This Bill Talking About? Senate Bill 156 wants to make sure all public schools in Ohio teach students in grades 6–12 about something called the “Success Sequence.” Sounds harmless, right? Here’s what it says: Graduate high school. Get a full-time job. Get married before having children. Do those three things, and the bill says you’ll avoid poverty.

Those that know me, know that this the truth. I believe and have believed for a long time that I was born to talk.
